Step up your guitar game with the DiMarzio Air Classic, a modern marvel that pays homage to the iconic sounds of the late 1950s humbuckers. At the heart of this pickup is the innovative Airbucker™ technology, which merges the sweet, vintage tones you love with contemporary reliability. Unlike traditional Alnico 2 or "aged" Alnico 5 magnets, the Air Classic utilizes a full-strength Alnico 5 magnet, reducing string-pull to enhance both sustain and sensitivity.

The notes leap off the strings, offering you a rich tapestry of tones that remain consistent as they sustain.

Whether you're a seasoned guitarist or an aspiring musician, the DiMarzio Air Classic offers a gateway to a world of sonic possibilities.
